I have 1 shake a day post workout the rest is from whole food sources. I took a lot of protein supplementation out by using liquid egg whites...they're pasteurized and do not have the slimy consistency of a raw egg white (or risk of salmonella). I take that and mix it with Walden Farms calorie free chocolate syrup...tastes like yohoo. Ill do that 1-2x a day depending on my schedule. being that you are 155 I think you can get all your required nutrition from whole food sources without any issues. The key here is to not eat as much as humanly possible. I did that and all you do is gain fat with a little bit more muscle. Take the lean bulking approach, eat slightly over maintenance and gain as much lean mass as possible while keeping fat gains down. Quality of your calories is huge in bodybuilding. Its not just cals in vs cals out.
